REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 August 2022
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity. On 10th December 2021 a written special resolution was passed to change the name of the charity from Soar Valley Music Centre to All for Music - Leicester
Aims and objectives
The objectives of the society are to provide and operate a training centre specialising in music media and performing arts.
Major Achievements
This year we were able to return to face-to-face lessons at both our music centre and in the schools we visit. We have seen a gradual increase in the number of students as some return to lessons and some start as new learners. We have been able to offer two concerts in the halls at Scared Heart and exams both face to face and digitally. We have also seen the return of our Sinfonia; our adult only daytime orchestra which has also seen new members. Whilst the beginning of this year we still saw constraints linked to covid restrictions we feel that as the year has progressed, we have continued to move forward with caution whilst following governmental guidelines.
We have been able to also help facilitate lessons for lower income families by subsidising their fees and provide free opportunities for a large number of students that would otherwise not be able to access music lessons. For all students we provide free instrumental loans and currently have over 30 instruments loaned out for free.
Future plans
From September 2022 we plan to re-launch our ensembles, as playing together has been greatly restricted. Many families did not want their children to play in groups as they felt it was not safe but as we return to the new norm, we will re-introduce a junior Orchestra, junior strings, Wind band and a Junior woodwind group. These ensembles will be for players of a year plus we will encourage more advanced students that have been playing longer to mentor the younger players and look at providing groups that offer more challenging material for them next year.
Reserves policy
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (free reserves) held by the charity should be between 6 and 12 months of the resources expended, which equates to £3,000 to £5,000 in general funds. At this level the Trustees feel that they would be able to continue current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.
Risk Management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Insurance and health and safety issues are assessed annually. DBS checks are carried out for staff and teaching staff where relevant. A trustee is nominated to act in the event of safeguarding concerns.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ALL FOR MUSIC - LEICESTER
I report on the accounts for the period ended 31 August 2022, which are set out on pages 4 to 9
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
. to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act), and
-
. to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts presents a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirement:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
